Topic: Negotiation in the Workplace
Talk overview:
Negotiation influences tangible work outcomes (such as pay) but is also critical in daily activities of distributing tasks, building networks, and claiming resources. One concern relating to women’s success is research suggesting that men are more likely than women to negotiate at work. Dr. Stuhlmacher will discuss findings on gender differences in negotiation with a particular attention to negotiation situations where women are most successful and explanations for gender differences. This event is open to professionals, graduate students and undergraduate students.
About the Speaker:

A faculty member at DePaul University in Chicago since 1991, she has served as director of DePaul’s Ph.D. program in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and is a past president of the Chicago I/O Psychologists.
